Ok, I’ve written about Australian artist Laura McKellar at least four times, and yep, I’m still jealous of her work. Today however, I’m also jealous/inspired by her generous spirit. She is auctioning off the above artwork {as well as a photograph by Nikki Toole} in an effort to help those affected by the flooding in Queensland. The auction will “raise money for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal. All of the money raised will be donated. The auction will finish 9am Monday January 24th.” Please help if you can ~ Thank you!

{Oh, and speaking of good causes, yesterday I received my very own “green bag lady” cloth shopping bag in the mail, courtesy of the very sweet Teresa Van Hatten-Granath. It’s soo cute, and until the end of today you can get yourself an anniversary freebie bag… Yep! Just click here}
